1. Title: Elevation of the Cornish Engine and Stand Pipe at the East London Water Works, Old Ford (1842) This print depicts an impressive Cornish engine and stand pipe erected at the East London Water Works in Old Ford, London, in the year 1842. The Cornish engine, a marvel of industrial innovation, was designed and manufactured by the renowned Thomas Newcomen and Company, based in the Cornish town of Dartmouth. The engine was a significant improvement over the earlier Newcomen atmospheric engine, as it utilized a piston instead of a plunger and was more efficient in lifting water. The engine, with its distinctive tall chimney, was a symbol of progress and modernization during the Industrial Revolution. The stand pipe, which towered above the engine, was essential for transporting water from the well or reservoir to the engine. The water was then pumped using the engine's power to supply the growing population of East London with clean water. The engine was designed by the esteemed engineers, Thomas Newcomen and James Watt, while the stand pipe was engineered by Henry Maudslay, a pioneer in precision engineering. The print also features the intricate details of the engine's components, such as the crankshaft, connecting rod, and piston, which were manufactured by the Nasmyth, Gaskell, and Company, known for their expertise in producing high-quality engine parts. The print offers a glimpse into the inner workings of the water works and the engineering prowess of the time. The Cornish engine and stand pipe at the East London Water Works, Old Ford, were instrumental in providing clean water to the residents of East London, revolutionizing the way water was transported and supplied to urban areas. This print is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the Industrial Revolution and the pioneering engineers who shaped the world we live in today.
